Lovely comfortable cabin on Beautiful Property!

We had such a wonderful time at Southwoods. The property was incredibly beautiful, the view, grounds, animals, and especially the pool were just perfect for us to have a relaxing week. The host and groundskeeper Alex were VERY attentive, and any issue we had they would respond right away. (There happened to be a LOT of rain several nights we were there and they proactively came and brought a generator just in case the power went out!) Alex even came to help the kids feed the goats and was always making sure the pool was clean. We had a wonderful time and hope to come back soon.

lovely, peaceful, special stay

The cottage is cozy and well appointed. The property itself is stunning. The views are truly magnificent. We've stayed upstate many times and this was the best view by far. Dana was a responsive and helpful host. In my dream world we can come back and stay in the main house one day.

Perfect getaway

My daughter and I were truly enchanted by this property! Sipping wine in the gazebo watching the sunset over the Hudson is not to be missed, nor is a visit or two to the goats!

About the host

Hosted by Dana Perry

We are the second generation to inhabit this magical 87-acre historic riverfront property, purchased in 1969 from descendants of the Livingston family of Clermont. Original Livingston Estate is now Clermont State Park, just 1/2 mile away. We maintain several long and short-term rental houses and host events in the mansion area in addition to raising livestock, operating a wood mill and maintaining several flower and vegetable gardens.

Why they chose this property

Southwood is a convenient two-hour drive from New York City. The surrounding area, which includes Tivoli, Germantown, Rhinebeck, Hudson, Red Hook, Clermont State Park, Bard College & the Omega Institute and Kingston and The Catskills Mountains across the Hudson River, provides a variety of activities that appeal to a wide range of interests for travelers. A sublime relationship to nature, in addition to the historic elements of the estate, is the main attraction. Deer, turkeys, eagles, egrets, heron, hawks, foxes, a wide variety of songbirds and assorted critters share the wooded grounds.

What makes this property unique

Southwood Cottage is tucked in the woods and has spectacular views of the Hudson River and Catskills and the historic 1848 main house. The cottage is newly renovated. Cozy wood-burning stove provides additional heat in the living area in colder months. Skylights provide natural light and treetop views.
